Burj Dubai

• Will be worlds tallest building by over 300m
  (over the 509m Taipei 101)
• No height has been set yet.
• However, developers have guaranteed
• 800m (minimum 2368ft)
• Atleast 160 floors
• Reinforced concrete buttressed core
• Each of the 3 wings contains its own smaller,
  similar core for rigidness.
• 192, 50m deep piles anchor the building and keep
  it standing.

Designers faced a new task in this building,
having never built something this tall, no one
new how it would reactinnovation was key. It is
so tall, in fact, no one really knows how much
compression will effect the final height.
